For a Dancer

Keep a fire burnin' in your eyes pay attention to the open skies
You never know what will he comin' down
I don t remember losing track of you
You were always dancin' in and out of view
I must have thought you would always be around
Always keeping things real by playin' the clown now you're nowhere to be found
I don't know what happens when people die
Can't seem to grasp it as hard as I try
It's like a song I can hear playing right in my ear
But I can't sing I can't help listening
I can't help feeling stupid standing around crying is the easier down
Cause I know that you would rather we'd be dancing
Dancing our sorrow away no matter what fate throws in your way
Just do the steps that you've been shown by everyone you've ever known
Until the dance becomes your very own
No matter how close to yours another's steps have grown
In the end there is one dance you'll do alone
[ guitar ]
Keep a fire for the human race let your prayers go drifting into space
You never know what will he coming down
Perhaps a better world is drawing near just as easy it could all disappear
Along with whatever meaning you might have found
Don't let the uncertainty turn you around go on and I make a joyful sound
Into a dancer you have grown from a seed somebody else has thrown
Go on ahead and throw some seeds of your own
And somewhere between the time you arrive and the time you go
May lie a reason you were alive but you'll never know
